    Vincent Gallo's ego gets the better of him in this disappointing and self-indulgent follow up to the brilliant Buffalo 66. The direction is fine, as are most of the performances, I even liked the (albeit) predictable ending. I'm just not a huge Sevigny fan, both her and Gallo com...( read more)e across as quite arrogant, and as for 'that scene', put it away you dirty old man!

    Vincent Gallo's self-indulgent experiment that succeeds on some levels and fails on others. Controversial because of the "real" sex scenes, The Brown Bunny has limited mainstream appeal and a growing cult following.

    Look Gallo lets face it there was one reason why you made the film. You were clearly having a problem getting laid and you called up Chloe Sevigny (Who deserves so much better by the way.) and you just filmed the rest of the film after the night after the motel. Once again mista...( read more)king a lack of a real story and being a lazy as being artistic. Plus you never called Chloe back after the scene did you? You bastard.

    I've only seen the 118 minute version, and it was pretty terrible. Any respect I ever had for Chloe Sevigny was lost right here.

    Second cinematic offer from Vincent Gallo is completely different from his brilliant debut "Buffalo '66". Heavily inspired on aesthetic level by Pasolini's work, Bud Clay's trip through US can be viewed simply as a boring and pointless one or as a journey into damaged, tortured m...( read more)ind which - at the climax - results in a powerful controntation of resentment and bitterness.

    Because even if we could project our lovers to coming back to life so we could confront our frustration and guilt with them, even humiliate them by putting our cocks into their mouths, where does that leave us? At the state of relief? At the state of comfort, acceptance? Or maybe after all's said and done this whole trip will start again, as if actually nothing happend, and pain will remain the same? At the end, when we see Bud Clay, we're not sure and Gallo was wise not to give us one direction.

    Some call Brown Bunny a pretensious, self-indulgent pseudo-arthouse thing of wannabe-artist etc., but I admire Gallo's uncompromising approach to the subject and creating perfectly a small isolated world which goes from one city to another, full of quiet desperation.

    It's a journey I want to go back to from time to time.

    I realize that half the people who see my rating for this film are immediately going to assume that I am either pretentious or clueless. I also personally know specific people who, after watching this movie, would want to have my head for giving it such a high rating. For this re...( read more)ason, I feel obligated to explain my admiration for it. With this piece, Gallo disregards every conventional approach possible, which a lot of people interpret as iconoclastic self-indulgence. I see it as appropriate within the context of this movie, and I think it's a tragically beautiful work in its own right. Functioning as a distant character study in which we know very little about the person being examined, The Brown Bunny asks us to give back a lot. I was willing to give it my complete attention, and I found it to be a haunting and uniquely profound experience. This is one of the saddest films I've seen in a while, and the conclusion will leave a resounding impact on most people. If you're interested in seeing it simply on the basis of the famous blowjob scene, don't bother watching it. This isn't what you're looking for.

    Having only seen the edited version, which was cut from 118 minutes to 92 minutes, I dread to think what the original was like. This dull, lifeless road-movie is about a lonesome man who meets equally lonesome women along the way and has very explicit "relationships" with them. G...( read more)raphic sex scenes, including the infamous oral scene and very little dialogue to speak of for long parts, this is a tribute to Gallo's self-indulgent personality. Excruciatingly boring. No wonder it was accused of being the worst film ever shown at the Cannae Film Festival.

    This movie is awful.Avoid it completely.

    Gallo has done better than this if you look at Buffalo 66'. Much is very left open to interpretation, but the ending gives too much away. Literally. Everything else up to the point of actual fellatio still makes me wonder could it have been THAT necessary since everything wasn't ...( read more)improving along the way. He's haunted by his lost love, Daisy. He meets women who remind him of her. Then at a hotel he lets out his intense frustration over something she did by simply masturbating to the thought of her. It's implied while Daisy is going down on him. You can tell by the way he never removes his hand from his brown bunny. The film has no entry and no resolution. It's just about a man who psychologically can't improve his life after Daisy's death. So, in the end, he drives and drives and drives. That's it.
